“Maybe the referenced school district would like to provide a substantive answer to the same question regarding their "indocrination" concerns.
But then again --- I think we all know what the "crux of the matter" was in their case.
FWIW --- my "gems" are meant to provoke thought ---- I see too many others here that are pure dogma and nothing else. While that approach works well for the NRA, Rush, Karl Rove, G.W. Bush, Glenn Beck, etc. --- I don't care for it.”

“Frequently ALL of the pieces in a comment need to be read together with the understanding that they are not literal but are abstract --- requiring you to "go somewhere else" to gain the necessary context.
I will not spoon feed you and I will not attempt to teach a pig to fly --- you know what they say about that effort? Oh that's right ---- pigs CAN'T actually fly --- I forgot.”

“Sorry guy, it was you that brought up a "bet" that the district would not air the NRA's views. Therefore, it is incumbent on you to provide some illumination on what you think that indoctrination may be. The district DID NOT, by your words, bring this up. YOU DID!
Provoking thought is fine if you have cogent argument. You don't seem to have that cogency. What you have is blatant nonsensical statements with no concrete backing!
Semper fi”

“I live near a "red" county that refused to air Obama's recent speech on education --- some schools nationwide allowed kids to opt out -- this whole county refused to air the speech ---- afraid of "indocriniation" don't ya know.
I'd bet that same county wouldn't want NRA-style indoctrination being brought into their schools either.
Yep --- I'll just bet.
Odie ---- for the benefit of the "faithful" here --- please recap the move by Repug G.H.W. Bush to limit certain AW importation early in his term as POTUS.”

No indoctrination. Just basic safety rules.

“Of what "NRA-style indoctrination" do you speak? Would it be the Constitutional background of the 2d Amendment? Or, would it be safe firearm handling classes? Or would it perhaps be competitive shooting?

“Funny thing, dj --- I don't recall ever supporting those politicians. You should stick to the facts / truth. But you live in "anti-world" where criticism of one thing (Repugs / Shrub Boy / the NRA) automatically imparts support to the opposition. Furthermore, the NRA's support of Shrub Boy stands on its own "merit " ---- Gore and Kerry aside. Recall they failed to endorse Dole over Clinton in 96 --- two years after the AWB. They could have also refused to support any candidate in 2000 & 2004. The NRA knows it messed up by backing Shrubby--- thus the revisionist approach now that Shrubby is out of office. But the damage is done.
NRA credibility = Zero.”

“Huh? The NRA didn't create the misleading "Do you want to keep guns out of the hands of terrah-ists???" poll, MAIG did. And it is MAIG and the gun-control lobby that are trying to retask the unconstitutional Bush blacklists as gun-prohibition lists.
As far as supporting point-of-sale background checks (as I do), you have it backwards, I think. The NRA is OK with the checks because most of its members are, and guess who elects the board of directors (yeah, the members).”

It's the Republican thing to do and, accordingly, would receive the full support of the NRA. Taxpayers shouldn't be expected to wait for any change in enforcement approach that may never come.”
